Default The New Cayenne GTS

Hello, over the past few months, we have been working to develop a multi-media campaign based on the brotherhood that exists between Porsche owners. Our research on the bond that exists between Porsche owners has lead to the creation of a new Web site featuring the Cayenne GTS. We invite you to visit http://www.porscheusa.com/bloodlines and witness a rite of passage.

PRESS RELEASE:
PORSCHE® CAYENNE® GTS MAKES ITS NORTH AMERICAN DEBUT AT THE CHICAGO AUTO SHOW

GTS to offer the best on-road characteristics of any Cayenne Porsche

ATLANTA, January 29, 2008 – Porsche will add some spice to the 100th anniversary of the Chicago Auto Show by unveiling the Cayenne GTS to the American public. Already known for exceptional on and off-road prowess, the GTS has been formulated, tested and tweaked to offer the best on-road characteristics of any Cayenne Porsche has ever produced.

The Cayenne GTS features a 405hp 4.8 liter V-8 engine. Based on the same V8 found in the Cayenne S, this more robust powerplant can be coupled either with an automatic Tiptronic S or, for the first time in a Cayenne V8, a six-speed manual transmission for those who want to take full advantage of this new power and suspension package. The GTS gets its cornering prowess from standard 21-inch alloy rims equipped with 295/35 R21 tires and air suspension that features Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).

The Cayenne GTS front end is reminiscent of the Cayenne Turbo while the body has a lower stance and a striking new wheel-arch design that complements the new 21-inch rims. The interior boasts redesigned front and rear seats that offer a sportier look and feel with Alcantara to hold both driver and passenger in place during spirited driving.

The 2008 Cayenne GTS goes on sale in February and pricing for this new model is US $69,300.

I think the video is cool. However, selling a lifestyle experience is no replacement for solid engineering and factory support of vehicles with "issues".

Just odd for that "User Name" and only three posts - perhaps a Troll Fishing?

Just plain odd...

"Porsche mahrketing is vanting to enlightenz das peebles. also dis iz fuhr zee cayenne en-doozi-ahts to zee da new commercialz dat showz zee GTS is hot.. you vill buy dem or die. come closerz to the dealerz.. you vill buy NOW!"
